Open Your Mind

Open your mind!

Hoo!

I've been searching for just a little more
To occupy my mind instead of thoughts unkind
And I know why I've fallen behind
It's because inspiration is so hard to find

So we'll take it back to the drawing board
Either it's in your hand or it's on the floor

If we'll all end up just bones in a bowl
Will you take your head out its merry little hole
Or pretend that it's already full
Open your mind
Before you die

If you've got more to say, then it should be said
It's better in the world than in your head
But creativity is such a fickle friend
It can be your start or it can be your end

So we'll milk it for all that it is worth
Will it make you fly or bring you down to earth

When your conscience screams that you're already dead
And you can't think of anything that anybody's said
Will you put those thoughts to bed
Open your mind

When I'm bored
I'll pick through all the little things I adore
And I'll find the new piece of mind that they afford
Mais je suis sourde, for they are not mine
And I've got no spine

Can you reel it in, can you feel the pull
Either you've got too little or too much control
Can you play the game, but just to reach your goals
Either you've no shoes or you've got no soul

So the time has come to walk the line
Either you've got no ears or you've got no spine

When you tell your friends that you're really doing fine
While watching your physical, emotional decline
You're the last fruit on the vine
Open your mind
Before you die

If we'll all end up just bones in a bowl
Will you take your head out its merry little hole
Or pretend that it's already full
Open your mind
